If I was Taiwan, I would announce that without the F-16s the only resort was to move forward with a ballistic missile program.
All part of Obama’s plan to de-fang the free world.
That SOB is really pissing me off right now. I want to know his rationale for denying Taiwan the fighters after Congress has requested in writing for him to follow through on the deal. Who the hell does he think he is?!?
Father in heaven, I CANNOT wait for this clown to be out of our lives forever!!!
Mark these words down in posterity because i will only say them once.
“If Obama somehow gets re-elected in 2012, Tiawan will fall to mainland China during or shortly after his second term.”
I hope I am wrong but I can’t see Taiwan remaining free for long with an avowed Marxist in power.
Ron Paul, calling Ron Paul and his minion - any comments guys ?
The CSM is ripping 0 on defense?
Color me amazed.
Leaves Taiwan vulnerable? Bovine scat alert! Taiwan always had been and always will be vulnerable! Gimme a break!
[ If I was Taiwan, I would announce that without the F-16s the only resort was to move forward with a ballistic missile program. ]
In a way that would be dumb becasue then our leadership would see this as an opportunity to cut all ties to Tiawan in the name of “Peace and Social Justice”.
Because we can’t have a democratic republic like Taiwan having ballistic missiles, those are only for Theocracies like Iran or crazy dictatorships like North Korea.
If I were them, I’d go nuclear as quickly as possible. Heaven knows it may be too late by this time.
The reason they want the upgraded F-16 in the first place is that they have had a lot of troubles with their Mirage 2000-5s. I know the French would sell them Rafale, but who would run down to the Ford dealership to replace their Pinto?
One thing the demonRATs are very, very good at- kicking our allies under the bus. Israel, Taiwan are just the latest victims of leftist policy.
Remember South Vietnam?
All the world is marking time until the great revolution of November 6, 2012.
Just who does Obama think he is? Ron Paul?
How many jobs and locations are there for American workers for these 66 NEW F-16s, weapons, and maintenance/parts, etc.? I assume TX and GA would be the major manufacturing sites?
China is not starting to build Aircraft Carriers for nothing.
What Taiwan needs is a Carrier killing missile.
It’s part of the deal Biden was sent to China with.
China will buy more debt now because we sold out Taiwan.
And while not directly on point, how many jobs here at home does this snuff out.
